The price is what's holding me back. Rather have a physical copy for the cheaper price. While the always on the system is rather convenient (especially when on holiday) I can live with swapping carts. It's not like I swap carts everyday.

Yeah I think that excuse is kind of lame. The carts are tiny and not too difficult to carry around with you. Won't pay £10 extra for that benefit anyway.
 
I would agree, except I'm getting the game for free so it's no personal loss... I also refuse to pay £39.99, it's insulting.
The price is the only thing stopping me going DD on everything, I remember far cry 3 was like £60 on PSN when it came out and everyone else puts a higher price tag on the same stuff.

Yep. Their convenient excuse is "not to piss off retailers" but the real reason is to take the cut that would go to retailers, manufacturing, packaging costs etc.
 
Good morning... oh. LOL, more spreadsheet wiping. Shameful.

I got a pm from zigg about my FC and I thought I should mention it here in case anyone missed it before in the thread. I have a 3DS but I share it with my husband and he knows I'm going to be super obsessed with this game and he more than likely will buy me another one lol so he could have his own 3DS.
 
Damn. We will rebuild! I didn't add everybody to be honest, only those in the UK and those that had PM'd me, but what the hell, when we get it back up, I'll add you all.
 
Sup, broskis. I've never played Animal Crossing, but I wa-

uh...I was thinking about giving this one a tr-
...giving this one a try. I know it's not out yet, but do you guys think it's a good jump-in poi-
What the christ.
 
I think it is fair to say at this point that my hype for this game exceeds my hype for E3 and the Last of Us. I wish it were hyperbole. Maybe it's because I'm finally going to get a 3DS XL and I'm in love with the Animal Crossing edition.
 
Well, since it's all ruined now thanks to whoever did that, the list is view only for now and since it's view only it's a bit silly to keep it a "secret":

Whoever wants to take care of it from now on can export all data as an Excel file, PDF, csv and others. Good luck!

Thought to let anyone know that he's the owner of the file uploaded. Pm him for access.

This just came in today. My 3DS is officially ready for this year! My two favorite long-time franchises in one year!

Now that's cute. I don't like pokemon but that color is cute. <3
 
Since this is my first AC, what exactly is the time travel part about in the spreadsheet?

Are you going to "cheat" the game by resetting your DS internal clock? The game reads and is based off on that since it rolls real time. Say you missed a sale from Nook and you reset your DS a day or two back, that's Time Travel. Resetti will also come out and berate you into a very LONG conversation and make you cry like a little girl at the end.

Personally, I don't mind Time Travelers but its annoying when you come in and see someone's in Winter season and we're in Summer. LOL.
 
Just a couple of hours away and this thread is on FIRE have been adding a lot more people and the swapnotes coming from some of you are Incredible !
The only connection i have to Animal Crossing at the moment are those cute looking animals : O Sorry Olaf the Anteater but my new crush is on the Bear that has X as eyes. Sooo cute

Oh, ok then. Definitely not doing that.

I've heard that Resetti will actually be optional this time around so there won't really be a huge punishment for resetting the clock when things don't go your way.http://www.destructoid.com/mr-resetti-is-optional-in-new-leaf-thanks-to-crying-fans-251498.phtml

Iwata Asks : AC:NL
Kyogoku : We really were'nt sure about Mr. Resetti, as he really divides people. Some people love him, of course, but there are others who don't like being shouted at in his rough accent.

Iwata : It seems like younger female players, in particular, are scared. I've heard that some of them have even cried.
I like Resetti!
 
Does this game have new bugs, fish, fossils, furniture?

Or is it all the same stuff we've been dealing with since Gamecube?

YES new stuff! Let me quote myself from earlier in the thread into this one HUGE post. Hang on a minute. :) I used Wild World vs New Leaf comparisons because well... I didn't like.. City Folk and neither a lot of people. Plus WW and NL are handhelds. :D

We're missing Jellyfish and Octopus from WW. Flounder is unconfirmed right now.

Look beyond to see what's added in NL!

We also gained two new flowers.

We also have NEW fruits. o.o' There's a separate variety that called "Perfect" versions of those.

I don't see Turnips or Acorns anywhere though. Its possible its just part of farming or tree section. It has been confirmed that these will be your native fruits. You'll have a native "Village" tree fruit, a "Island" fruit and a beach fruit like coconut.

I knew I'm forgetting something! WW vs NL's underwater finds!

Does making friends in AC have any real impact or is it a neat addition in order to have friends ( like in the Sims ) * Hate using The Sims as an example
 
YES new stuff! Let me quote myself from earlier in the thread into this one HUGE post. Hang on a minute. :) I used Wild World vs New Leaf comparisons because well... I didn't like.. City Folk and neither a lot of people. Plus WW and NL are handhelds. :D

Oh, cool. Thanks.

edit: I looked up furniture sets that are new and this is what I found:
Balloon Series,
Dot Series,
Fish Series,
Ice Series,
Mermaid Series,
Mixed Wood Series,
Patchwork Series,
Pipe Series,
Rococo Series,
Scandinavian Series,
Scruffy Series,
Trump Series and
Insect series.

It certainly lets you have more fun, and different items are more easily obtained. Your towns interact, so for example a villager from your friends town might meet you and decide to move into your town.

Well it certainly HELPS a ton in shops and trading. A lot of items in shops are randomly generated and you could amass your "sets" of furnishings a LOT faster with a huge roster of buddies and their shops to go through. :)

I'm assuming you mean "friends" as in multiplayer, right? In that case, totally yes! You can visit their towns, they can visit yours, and you can buy things like patterned furniture they've created. Additionally, you can take some of their fruit and plant it in your town while also sharing some of your fruit with them. Foreign fruit is worth a lot more in the shops than fruit native to your town.
 
That's pretty neat! :D I dunno where you got the "32" buddies part. That's still a LOT! O.o'

Yeah I checked I think it's 4 friends only.

EDIT : Nope.
Best Friends can use the [Best Friends] Best Friends icon to text chat when
both players are playing the game and connected to the Internet at the same
time. When using the [Best Friends] Best Friends icon, make sure to tap the
name of the Best Friend to which you wish to send your text. You can have a
maximum of 32 Best Friends.
 
sorry to make myself not clear enough , i am referring to the villagers :)

Oh the animal friends! :3 NO worries, if you want to keep one of them as a neighbor you just need to make sure you talk to them once a day or something. If you do more than that like giving them presents (or items you don't want), they may give you presents. :)

However if you neglect them long enough OR their personalities just clash with the other neighbors (you'd be surprised), they'd move out. They tend to stick around for like 2 weeks to a month or so before moving on.
